When I browse in UI a node of Proxmox and click "console" I'm automatically loggedin via SSH. Is it possibly to have the same for VM?
If I define Linux VM with certificate and no password, it's even worse - I cannot login via console, as It demands password. So VM console is of no use at all! Any idea how can i make it usable?
 
I'm also interested in that unsing SSH. My Passwords are just to long to type them in each time and NoVNC don't support copy and paste, so I dan't use my password manager.

What I got here are 3 things that are working:
1.) using Putty to remotely connect to all VMs using RSA keys from my Windows PC
2.) auto login for my Windows/linux VMs installed with a GUI
3.) hosting a guacamole server in a VM to get a WebGUI to manage all my VMs using SSH/VNC/RDP but I can'T use my RSA keys there, because it only supports RSA keys up to 4096bit and I'm using 8192bit RSA keys
 
Instead of abusing the pve console as connection manager you should consider using a connection manager instead..
Mremote vor mremoteNG are good options. I guess there are more out there. You can specify your ssh public key and circumvent password authentication with this.
